Royal Woodbine Golf Club
Played On 08/29/2021Really Poor Experience
3 friends and I played on Aug 29th. I understand that it rained the day before but cart path only in 38 degrees celsius could have been avoided. Maybe cart path only for some holes.... it was definitely dry enough.
ALSO, there was NO food available at the course due to weddings taking place that day. The only food available were potato chips from the beverage cart. Our tee time was at 330pm and we were absolutely famished by the end of the round (again, in 38 degree heat). We didn't have any access to food/water after the 11th hole.
Overall the course was in poor condition compared to when I played it several years ago. A tremendous disappointment.
18 holes took more than 5 hours. Way too slow.
The Ridge at Manitou Golf Club
Played On 07/26/2020Very disappointing condition and pace
My family and I have been playing this course every year since it first opened around 2007. We were not members (so we are not jaded from when it went public). Upon playing our first round of the year at the ridge on July 26th, we don’t think we’ll be returning in 2020.
20-30% of every green is brown and dead. The greens are in HORRIBLE shape. My god they are terrible. I felt like I was playing croquet with the amount of force required to hit a putt.
Pace was really slow. We quit on fifteen after we watched THREE groups ahead of us play the hole. After we quit, we drove into the clubhouse. Sure enough, we passed a fivesome two holes ahead of us. A fivesome! 3 carts with 5 bags, no wonder the pace was slow! It would’ve taken us over an hour to play those final four holes.
We mentioned the fivesome to the play coordinator when we came in. He appeared disinterested and continued to talk to his back shop colleague. There was no urgency to improve the pace of play.
Overall we found this to be extremely disappointing and probably the end of one of the greatest golf courses in the area.
